I am wanting to build a databse driven website. I am using Access to
connect to an SQL 2000 server to create tables etc.
I am using ASP/ASP.Net to build my site.
The question I have is on best method to retrive data. Lets say I have
a Table of Products, and one of those fileds is CurrentProduct and its
True or False. On my web page I want to retreive and list all products
that are marked as CurrentProduct True.
I could do this as part of the SQL statement in the web page ie
"Select * From Products Where CurrentProduct=True", I could create a
View that only shows Current Products and use Select * From
CurrentProductsView or I could create a stored prodceedure, that looks
very much like a view.
I know a bit about Access and Queries which is why I am using access
to manage Sql, but very liitle if anything about Stored Proceedures.
When should I use what? And what are the advantages / dis-advantages
of each approach?
Hi people, I'm using the following SP to return the rank of users but I really want it to return just a single Row column and also a Count() of the numer of Users there are....at the moment it sending me the whole table of ranked users. Any ideas?
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.RankUsersOnScore ( @UserID INT ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT Row, Score, UserID FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Score DESC) AS Row, Score, UserID FROM dbo.tblUserStats ) AS tblUsersRanked
I was using a proceedure i created in code but because of the way i am using it i decided that a stored proceedure will work better
i have a few add proceedures that work for insert and update but when i tried a select command, no matter what the data entered it returns the first record in the table when I fill the dataset does any one have a clue as to why it would do this is there something you have to return through the stored proceedure like you do when you use @@Identity
this is what i currently have,
CREATE PROCEDURE Location_Select
@p1 char(15) AS SELECT LocationID FROM t_Location WHERE (LocationPhone = @p1) go
do i need this? and if so what can i return i tried LocationID and it yelled at me saying that is an invalid column name
CREATE PROCEDURE Location_Select
@p1 char(15), @retval int output
AS SELECT LocationID FROM t_Location WHERE (LocationPhone = @p1)
How can you run a DST package from a stored proceedure. I am using sql server 2000 i cant find the syntax anywhere it is a DTS that takes a file and imports it into a table in the db
Hope someone can help.I am trying to write a stored proceedure to display sales activity by monthand then sum all the columbs.The problem is that our sales year starts in April and end in March.So far I have been able to get the sales info my using to sp's, one that saymonth >3 and the other says <4. I pass in a year parameter, that for thisyears figures would be 2003 for sp1 and 2004 for sp4.I am sure there is a better way.Below is a copy of one of my sp's.Hope you are able to help.JohnALTER PROCEDURE dbo.sp_SalesAnalFigures_P1(@Year nvarchar(50),@CCode varchar(50),@SCode varchar(50),@OType varchar(50))AS SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT DATEPART(mm, dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceDate) ASMonth, SUM(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceTotalNet) AS Sales,SUM(dbo.InvoiceItemsCostQry.TotalCost) AS Cost,SUM(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceTotalNet -dbo.InvoiceItemsCostQry.TotalCost) AS Margin,COUNT(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceNo) AS NoOfInvoices,AVG(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceTotalNet) AS AverageValueFROM dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl INNER JOINdbo.InvoiceItemsCostQry ON dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceNo =dbo.InvoiceItemsCostQry.InvoiceNoWHERE (DATEPART(yyyy, dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceDate) = @Year) AND(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.CompanyCode LIKE @CCode) AND(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.SalesManCode LIKE @SCode) AND(dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.OrderType LIKE @OType)GROUP BY DATEPART(mm, dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceDate)HAVING (DATEPART(mm, dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceDate) > 3)ORDER BY DATEPART(mm, dbo.InvoiceHeaderTbl.InvoiceDate)
I've got a stored procedure which contains a fast_forward cursor. I was wondering whether it is possible to pass in an sql query string into this stored procedure for the cursor, i.e:
Create Procedure (@sqlString as text) as DECLARE aCursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR @sqlString
This stored proceedure will not let me save is there any reason why if i take out the set line it says the syntax works if i leave this line in however it says that batchid is not a valid column name can you only return @@ variables? i just cant figure out what its problem is
I have now created a stored proceedure that has a return parameter, not i am unsure how to call it from another proceedure,
ie say i have select projectid, project name from projects into temp from projects.
how can i then loop around all the rows in temp, to call my stored proceedure for each record?
in vb i would have created a function like my stored proceedure, then picked up a recordset, looped around it and picked up the return value for each row.
can this be done for sql?
I am trying to do something like
for each record in #temp (projectid, project name) find the stored sprceedure value
so my end result will look like
projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value lprojectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value
I am writing a bit of code for our intranet using ASP.NET C# and SQL2005. We have a program called Aboutface that is a web based firm directory. We are using the SQL database it has in order to pull data out of it and integrate it into our intranet as we dont really care for its original interface. I am most interested in setting up relationships. An attorney only has one secretary that supports them, but a secretary can have many attorneys they support. This is the nature of my problem. The code below is my stored procedure. I am passing in an int which is the ID, and my goal is to generate the ID of and the name of the person who supports/is supported by. With 1 to 1 relationships, it works fine.. With more than that, it blows up because its finding multuple names (of attorneys being supported by a secretary) I was told I might want to use a FOR EACH loop in the SP. I assume I would want to also generate a COUNT variable (to be used in the procedure and to also build the rows of my table outside of it.) and a NAME variable for each name it finds to populate the table.... but from there I am not sure if I am on the right lines of thinking or where to begin. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go

I have some data that I am inputing and if the record already exists i would like to add data to the fields that are not populated ONLY if they are not populated for example
Already in the table address= "123 this place" city= "" State="MI" Zip="48462" FirstName="" LastName=""
being added address= "123 this place" city= "Ontate" State="" Zip="48462" FirstName="Person" LastName="Guy"
once i find that this record already exists because of the address and zip (which i already have complete) I would like it to update the City first name and last name in the data that is already in the table. thank you for your help
Can someone please help me....I have created a DNN module that works on the test site but when I upload the module zip to a new site I get an error on creating my stored proceedure as follows:

I have a table from which I need to create a report via MSRS2005, however the data in the table is awful in its construction and I was hoping to be able to use a stored proceedure to create a new table in which I can manupulate the data, but my T-SQL programming skills aren't that clever, so if anyone can offer any advice I'd be most grateful:
In the existing table there are two columns; StartDate and EndDate which is pretty self explanitory - what I would like to do is create a new table with only one date column and if there is more than one day between StartDate and EndDate I would like it to fill in every date in between.
For example, if the StartDate is 01/06/2007 and the EndDate 10/06/2007 I'd like the new table to list dates 01/06/2007 through 10/06/2007 inclusive in one column.
I am using C# to insert the form details and passing event id (numeric) to the same stored procedure in my eror handler and need to retrieve the description from event_db to display in MessageBox..
I have a stored proceedure that is adding a record to a database table. When the record is added using an insert statement, the ID field is autogenerated. I have a second insert statement that inserts into a second table, however, I want/need? to use that ID field in order to link this additional information to the proper record in the initial table. Is there an easy way to do a select or just pull the ID? I was thinking I could do a select before the final insert using 2 or 3 required fields of which used in a select altogether would be unique, but before I did that, I wanted to see if I was missing a better way. I posted the code below.... set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go

I created a query, which makes use of a temp table, and I need the results to be displayed in a View. Unfortunately, Views do not support temp tables, as far as I know, so I put my code in a stored procedure, with the hope I could call it from a View....
con = new SqlConnection ("server=declt; uid=c1400046; pwd=c1400046; database=c1400046"); con.Open(); cmdselect = new SqlCommand("createpost", con); cmdselect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@userID", userID); cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@categoryID", categoryID ); cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@title", title.Text ); cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@newsdate", newsdate.Text ); cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@story", story.Text ); cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@wordcount", "1" ); int valueinserted = cmdselect.ExecuteNonQuery(); Response.Redirect("http://declt/websites/c1400046/newpicture.aspx?id="+valueinserted); con.Close();
as you can see im using the valueinserted but thats just returning 1, but im guessing that means it sucessful. but i want the id of the new record! any idea how ?
I'm modifying a pretty big web application and the programmer who built it used all stored procedures and no views. Does anyone know why someone would do this? I realize that you can't pass parameters with views and insert/update/delete records with views, but he even used stored procedures for queries like: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myVal > 0 ORDER BY myVal Is it more efficient to put this in a stored procedure compared a view?
Are there performace benefits to using a select from a View instead of a stored procedure that returns the same dataset? I am concerned about when we ramp up to 100's of users.
I like the security of using stored procedures. It seems I am able to do anything with it that I can with a view. Why would I choose a view over a sproc?
Hello all I am not quite a beginner but not an expert at SQL. I'm kind of in a bind and need some help. I have a table that shows me statuses of tickets (open, pending, closed), some tickets could have as much as 25 rows/ticket. I want to try to avoid that but at the same time keep track of the time. Here's what I need to happen...
with the data example below I need to take the ((closed date - first open date) - total of Waiting time). This will give me total time duration of the ticket. I'd like to either write a stored procedure or create a view that would do this for me. Any one have ideas?
I have MS SQL Server 7 and over the years have built quite a fewStored Procedures. It would be extremely convenient if I could print outor view ALL the text of ALL the stored proceudres at once. Is there a way ican do this? Is tehre a way I can make a quick print out?
I have a very complex view which we've been working with for sometime. As we have progressed with this view, we have reached the stagewhere the data is generated into a table which is then used in ourreporting application. This has improved reporting performanceconsiderably.There is a stored procedure which copies the data from the view into atable. Very simple select into statement.However, I was wondering if I actually held the query code in thestored procedure, would this improve performance ?The only user for this would be the server for getting to the data inthe view and generating into a table.I know it's a very general question, but would I see any performancedifference doing this as an SP instead of an SP calling a view ?Would appreciate any constructive comments. Not posting the view asit'll be too long, but FWIW, using SQL 7.
Hi all, I want to know if there is a way to use a stored procedure in a view OR a table value function OR use the store procedure in table value function.
If any of these is a possibility, it would help. So far i have learnt that extended stored procedures can be accessed in table value functions.

Hi guys I have a stored procedure that a make crosstab table , In this table the main column is "job titles" these jobs must be ordered in certain way , for example "1st managers then engineers … workers … " so In the table that job titles are defined there is also a column named "Ranking" so the" job titles" could be sorted appropriately by ranking order . The problem is I cannot have the "Ranking" column with my crosstab table so I need to load it in a view or something like that. Any Idea?
Hi i have a page in which a user fills out info on a page, the problem i am getting is that when the save button is clicked all text box values apart from one are saving to the database this field is the "constructor_ID" field.

Is it possible to drop and then create a view from a stored procedure? Like the way you can drop and create a temp table. I want to create a view of the fields in a table something like: But I cannot include the field names, they may be changed by an admin user. If exists view 'custom_fields" drop view 'custom_fields' Create view custom_fields Select * From tblCustomFields And make this a view in the db named custom_fields. And I want to call it from a button click in my UI.
hi, Can someone tell me when to use SQL Server View as oppose to Stored Porcedure? Currently we do everything with SQL Server stored procedure. I mean, even if we have to display some report, we use Stored Procedure. In what situations and senarios views are better and one should consider them over Stored Procedure?
